It can act as a drop-in replacement for the standard library's http.ListenAndServe function: + +```go +func main() { + handler := MyHTTPHandler() + server := manners.NewServer() + server.ListenAndServe(":7000", handler) +} +``` + +Then, when you want to shut the server down: + +```go +server.Shutdown <- true +``` + +(Note that this does not block until all the requests are finished. Rather, the call to server.ListenAndServe will stop blocking when all the requests are finished.) + +Manners ensures that all requests are served by incrementing a WaitGroup when a request comes in and decrementing it when the request finishes. + +If your request handler spawns Goroutines that are not guaranteed to finish with the request, you can ensure they are also completed with the `StartRoutine` and `FinishRoutine` functions on the server. + +### Compatability + +Manners 0.3.0 and above uses standard library functionality introduced in Go 1.3. + +### Installation + +`go get github.com/braintree/manners` |
